About Agnes RF™ Microneedling

Overview

Providers apply his highly versatile treatment to the face, neck, chest, and body for skin conditions and localized fat pockets. Its mechanism of action involves remodeling existing collagen and activating the skin’s natural collagen production, resulting in firmer, supple, and evenly toned skin over time.

During the treatment, varying microneedles delicately penetrate the dermis, delivering fractional radiofrequency energy at different depths into the subdermal or fatty tissue higher than any other device on the market. This process induces a natural wound-healing response or adipose elimination. These combined effects lead to remarkable improvements in skin quality and appearance.

Advantages
  • As the primary protein found in the skin, collagen plays a crucial role in maintaining its structure and promoting firmness and elasticity. However, collagen production gradually diminishes as we age, particularly in our twenties and thirties, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin.
  • To combat these visible signs of aging or undesirable fatty pockets RF microneedling treatments such as Agnes RF have emerged as an effective solution. By stimulating collagen regeneration or debulking fatty tissue, Agnes RF not only counteracts the natural decline of collagen production but also addresses various skin tone and texture issues.
  • Treatment is customized by medical providers using the following options:
    • Targeted therapy using nine different versions of one-, two-, and three-needle cartridges.
    • Semi-insulated needles emit heat solely from their tips, which are deeply embedded in the skin. This option is particularly suitable for individuals with olive or brown skin tones, as it reduces the risk of hypo- or hyperpigmentation.
    • Adjustable >4.0 mm penetration depth: Shorter needles effectively target superficial concerns such as shallow acne scars, fine lines, or stretch marks. Longer needles can penetrate the skin or fatty tissue deeper, stimulating collagen production for enhanced skin tightening.
Pros
  • You may see desired results in one session due to energy settings (length of pulse duration).
  • Insulated needles are safe for individuals of all skin tones and can result in minimal downtime (one to three days).
  • Effectively addresses a broad spectrum of prevalent skin issues, including but not limited to uneven skin tone, skin laxity, stretch marks, fine lines, and acne scars. It also addresses localized fat pockets (eye bags, double chin, etc.)
  • The synergistic effects of combining microneedling with RF energy yield superior outcomes compared to either treatment method used independently.
Cons
  • RF microneedling treatment can cause discomfort, even when using numbing cream. Especially with high-energy settings, it may require ProNox or injectable lidocaine.
  • The post-treatment effects may include swelling and pinkness of the skin, which can last for a few days.
  • It is important to note that the effectiveness of RF microneedling treatment is heavily reliant on the technique employed, as the application of heat increases the risk of burns, scarring, and alterations in pigmentation.
  • May impact facial fillers or thread lifts; wait 6 months after fillers before treatment.
What to Expect

Agnes RF treatment lasts 30-60 minutes. First, a numbing cream is applied to minimize needle and heat discomfort. You may be asked to arrive early for proper numbing (30-45 mins).

Once numb, the provider uses the Agnes RF handpiece with a single-use needle tip to create micro-injuries, emitting radiofrequency (RF) energy. You may feel pressure and zapping, which can be painful even with numbing cream. Injectable lidocaine or ProNox may relieve discomfort.

Recovery

Following the treatment, you may experience pinpoint bleeding, redness, and swelling, which are normal and typically subside within a day or two. Your provider will provide specific skincare instructions to promote optimal healing, including sun protection and skincare products tailored to your needs.

Results

Many people report enhanced skin quality following their initial treatment, which is why Agnes RF treatments cost more per session. However, outcomes vary by person, and attaining optimal results may require more time. Full benefits sometimes aren’t apparent for three to six months as the body generates new collagen.

Safety Profile

While RF microneedling is generally safe, improper use by inexperienced individuals may cause long-term skin damage.

Treatments like Agnes RF microneedling deliberately create controlled injuries to stimulate natural healing. It’s crucial to avoid skin tearing, heat-induced burns, or excessive intensity in upper layers that can trigger pigmentation issues.

Insulated needles primarily focus on heating subdermal tissue, minimizing skin surface damage. By avoiding direct energy on the outermost layer, risks of heat-induced harm—like burns, blisters, and pigmentation changes—are significantly reduced, making this method safe and effective for various skin types.

Cost

 $1,500-$3,000 per treatment session because single-session results are often the equivalent of three sessions with other treatment types. It varies on the area of the body being treated.
